Hello
In other words, patches in reverse order:
0001 will change primary_conninfo and primary_slot_name to reloadable
0002 will move wal_receiver_create_temp_slot logic to startup process (without
changing to PGC_POSTMASTER)
0003 is new draft patch: wal_receiver_create_temp_slot will use the given name
or generate new one.
regards, Sergei
